Sheffield Utd (A) post match thread

No, I'm just not the daft twat pretending the only two options are a 4-0 win or a 1-1 draw.

You need to read your post again, and tell me how we entertain you then at 1-0 and in what way. Surely the only way is to attack and score thus leaving defence exposed or is there another way?

A little mystified by the negativity on here. We were away at the Hammer, then less than 72 hours later were away in Marseille, win convincingly keep a clean. Travel back and away to a very physical team with a know enemy officiating, win and clean sheet. We go again Tuesday and the dipper scum next weekend. We have played without a recognised, makeshift left backs and with a decent defender unable to contribute till today.
Our finishing was the issue.

Our finishing is always the issue, even when we bang in half a dozen. Hope it isn't an issue at Wembers tomorrow!

Better performance today....makes a difference having more energy and legs in midfield.

Torres played well in the first half considering he was out of position and was very unlucky not to get 2 goals

Bernrdo - loads of energy makes a huge difference

Walker has been outstanding this season so far and he deserves that goal.

Great to see Dias and Laporte together

Mahrez display was him all over - some lovely moments of brilliance but ultimately amounts to nothing created or achieved. Not sure what he brings to the team on consistence basis

Definitely. The last few seasons have taught us not to expect a clean sheet despite Ederson a golden gloves. confidence in the defence should improve as we go on now but it’s no less risky. Can tell from his interview Pep isn’t happy with us going forward

As long as the defence is good I’m happy, goals will come but a good defence is harder to keep as shown by last season. When Aguero and Gabby are back we’ll be fine

Jesus Christ. Talk about spoilt!

Didnt fishing shops close down in Tier 3
Certainly trying to reel a few in there

We have become Mancini's City.

Hope west ham beat dippers . :D

It would make my Saturday. In all fairness West Ham should have got something out of the Anfield match last season.

I think Chris Wilder just turned into Sean Dyche. Immediately played the money card. What a wanker.

You'd think he'd be more pissed his £24 million striker barely had a touch and looks a waste of money rather then worrying about what we spend the wanker.

What? Rodders was great today.

I thought Rodri didn't do as great as people said he did.

Aké instead of Cancelo is even more solid.

But not as fluid. First half was a masterclass from Cancelo in positional play, making all the space for Sterling.
